Mail fraud and wire fraud are broad terms used in any case involving theft by mail, by Internet, by electronic transfer, by phone or any similar means. It is very common for these cases to be quite complex, which makes defending them a challenge.

Contacting someone over the phone to get them to make an investment

Sending e-mails with phishing scams and other means of identity or credit card theft

Online auction fraud involving taking money for an item and not delivering the item
